I wasn’t even thinking bootloaders and rooting. I bought mine several years ago ready for use so I could skip all of that, and even then, nobody wanted to get off of Woke Apple or Woke Android.
And they still don’t want to. Even when it’s just a simple purchase, the motivation is not actually there to divest from woke.
It is true that the programmers making these phones have a long way to go before installing on a phone is as mind numbingly easy as it is to install Linux on a computer. But even with THAT amount of ease though, we still can’t get people off of the woke platforms.
Maybe Elon Musk starpower is what it would require.
I got my fingers crossed. Anything better than what we got now. :)
